Visa: application and entry permit for your internship in Bali.
The entry permit to Indonesia has remained the same since August 2020, besides citizens and resident visas, foreign nationals are to enter Indonesia on a B211A visa  or social culture visa for a single entry short term visit such as to attend study programs, educational training programs or a non commercial/business visit matter.

For the time being, we have always suggested and assisted our interns to apply for the B211A visa via an appointed reputable visa agent in Bali, the process itself takes approximately one week and so far there has not been any visa which got declined. This kind of  visa requires applicants to be fully vaccinated (a booster shot is not required) and have insurance cover for COVID. Contact our program coordinator to find out more about the visa application process and fees.
